In life, we loved you dearly, in death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. With Adelina’s passing, we are reminded that her life is one to be celebrated. Although we will miss her every day, especially her beautiful smile, she will forever remain in our hearts. This tribute was written in honor of Adelina by her family.
